What the heck do you do all day to get that many steps in?!I'm a huge fan of my fitbit. I have the Alta and it seems to be relatively accurate. I think it's more accurate the more you use it. It does a good job of estimating my calories burned per run/exercise session too. I use it more for the sense of accomplishment though. Considering I average 25,000 steps per day, I don't need to reminder to move.

My mom gets around that much each day. Her entire shift at work is walking so its super easy if you're constantly moving. When I worked at a restaurant i could get around 10k steps in a four hour shift.What the heck do you do all day to get that many steps in?!
This is where I wish I had a job where I move around. I unfortunately work sitting at a desk 90% of the time. Even though I go to the gym after work, I never reach even close to that manyMy mom gets around that much each day. Her entire shift at work is walking so its super easy if you're constantly moving.

That was me during my internship. I'd get maybe 4k a day if that.This is where I wish I had a job where I move around. I unfortunately work sitting at a desk 90% of the time. Even though I go to the gym after work, I never reach even close to that many

I know it varies depending on where you live, but if I tried to walk places that were a mile away, I'd literally just end up at the entrance of my neighborhood. I live in the middle of nowhere pretty much so that could also be itYou have to make the conscious effort to move then. So, on days when I know I'll be less active, I make it a point to schedule activities into my day. Walk the dog in the morning, take the stairs, walk somewhere for lunch, meet up with a friend at the park, hit the gym before dinner, take a cool down walk after eating etc. It's simple things that'll add up.
Since I basically have to walk everywhere, it's easy, but if you're used to driving everywhere it's more of a challenge. Try walking everywhere that is less than 1 mile away for a week.
I do try to make a conscious effort, but unfortunately my 'less active days' are more common than not. Being required to sit at my desk for 8 hours is hard, but whenever I do need to go downstairs or anything, I always take the long way and the stairs. And I go to the gym 4/5 work days most weeks! Anytime I reach 10,000 I celebrate a little hahaYou have to make the conscious effort to move then. So, on days when I know I'll be less active, I make it a point to schedule activities into my day.

It absolutely isn't, I just have fat thumbs! I will fix it and I'm sorry! That's what I get for sneaking on fierceboard from my phone during class.@Claws-Out how is my post bullying?
